CVS card question/Almay deal - YDF - Your Daily Freebies Forum - Coupon Codes

Lydia · 09-01-2006, 11:45 PM

The ad said buy ANY 3 Almay products and get $15 extracare bucks (the ad didn't say anything about them having to be advertised on that page). So I bought 2 items that were listed on sale in the ad and a lipgloss that wasn't on sale. The $15 didn't show up when I checked my extracare bucks. It is supposed to take 2 days so does anyone know what I should do?

I would call the 1-800 number on your card, or email them. Personally, I bought 3 bars of facial soap that weren't on sale. I got my ECBs 2 days later. Hope it all works out for you.

I agree, I would call, I picked up 2 bars of facial soap and a bottle of foundation that was on clearance. 2 days after, it was on the website. Worst case, you may have to bring your receipt in and rebuy it.

my flyer does not show ecb's.

could someone please post a zip code for a flyer that shows ecb's? the cvs website will let you do a zip code search and it will post that flyer, this way I know what the deals are.
thanks to everyone for all your help.

Hi, HTH try 19446 area code. That's where I bought some items for ECBs. Also, at CVS around here the Almay facial soaps, 3.49 each, were B1 G1 1/2 off. Then I used 3 coups for $1/1 and it worked out to about $6. And I really really like this soap which makes it a great deal!

PS -- When I call the 800# my ECBs do not show at all. The reps said that there are common problems with accurate balances so it may very well be on your card.

I'm in 70458. All Almay is Buy 1, get the 2nd at 50% off. Our ad says the prices start at $1.99 before the 50%, but the cheapest item that I could find was the facial bar soap for about $3.50 each. Go to Almay's website and you can print 2 coupons there. I also came across a bottle of foundation that was on clearance for $2.50 and I was able to use that towards the EB's. Worst case, if your $15 doesn't show within 2 days of purchase, ask for the manager, or just return them.

OK, I checked online and they are now showing up under my balances. Will it then show up under the coupon section once it is fully processed?

thank you for the zip code. I just came from cvs and our almay is 30% off, I used the coupons with the soap and lip gloss ect..ect..when I checked out my reciept from the haircolor from before it printed and I recieved $10.00 ecb's so now it does come on the reciept. also check today's flyer there is a coupon for $5.00 off any $15 purchase and there is another one for $1.00 off
$5.00. Thank you to all of you now I love this place.

is this almay deal still going on? I didn't see it at the store today - but they were out of flyers. I got a coupon on my receipt for $3 off any almay purchase - so it would be great to combine with the ECB if it's still going on. One other question - what are the cheapest almay products that you bought and how much were they?

sprintc22 · 09-03-2006, 09:38 AM

I purchased the soap and it was $3.99, lip gloss is $7.99. i'm not sure about the rest. my store has it 30% off and is still going on.

Thanks for the info. I went to CVS but they were sold out of so many things that I ended up not even using my Almay coupon or $5 off of $20 coupon.
